Any PDX locals have a TPMS reprogrammer?

Not the thing to activate new sensors with the car, the kit to make another set look like my stock ones. I'm getting a second set of rims for winter tires (because, well, see my post history) and don't want to mess with it when I swap out.

I don't have the replacement sensors yet, but I can buy whatever.

Just a heads up. Since these are Winter tires, you will need to reprogram it again once you put the summer tires back on (your car will only take 1 set of TPMS programmed). I just live with the light when I'm on my Winter set, since I don't want to hassle with it each time I swap over tires. Your local tire shop should be able to reset it if bugs you.

Why bother with TPMS on winter tires. Get Carista App and a bluetooth OBDII adapter and you can clear the TPMS alert. Or ignore it like I do :-)

I have them in my winter tires and not my summer. Between the two I'd rather not have tire issues in the winter vs the summer. I ignore the blinky light when on the summer tires, which doesn't even come on all the time for some odd reason. Perhaps it's because I have my winter tires hanging on the wall when the summer tires are on and it registers them before I leave?

The way I understand it is that I could clone my existing sensors, put those in the winter tires, and not have to worry about it again. Am I wrong? It's entirely possible, my WRX didn't care at all (turns out 13 years between cars matters).
